SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters iatent No. 899,490, dated March 12, 1889.

Application filed July 13, i888.

To (all 107mm it may 0072087721:

Be it known that we, ANDREW Ti. liUhlLL and EDGAR BUELL, of Clinton, eoiiinty of Middlesex, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in saw iets, of which the following is a specification.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved saw-set which can readily be adjusted for setting saw-teeth of different sizes, and for spreadi ng the teeth more or less, as may be desired.

The invention consists in the combination, with a head and its handle, of another handle pivoted in said head and provided with a diamond-s]iaped setting-jaw having; its bottom rounded. V

The invention li'urther consists in the com- 1 bination, with said handles, head, and jaw, of

an adjustable gage and an abutment tor the saw-blade.

The invention also consists in the construction and combination of parts and details, will be fully described and set forth, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure] is a side view of our improved saw-set, parts being in section and others broken out. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. 3 is a bottom view of one end part of the same, parts being broken out and others being" in section. Fig. 4 is a side view of one end part of the same, showing a modified construction. Fig. 5 is an end view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The handle A and head A are made integral, and. the latter is provided with ihe slot A in. which the curved handle ll is pivoted. On the end of the handle B the setting-jaw B is formed, which is diamondshapcd, and has its bottom curved; so as to adapt it to set teeth of dilierent lengths or sizes. The head A has a transverse slot,

extending from the front inward and serving 1 to receive the saw-blade M. The tongue (1, fornnng the top of the recess C, is provided with an opening, forming a continuatitni Serial No. 279,828. (No model.)

of the slot A and into said opening the jaw .5 plOjtC'l'fi.

The abnlni cut for supporting the saw-blade may be fixed or adjustable, the latter construction being shown in Figs. 1, 9, and 3, and the former in Figs. at and 5.

The adjustable abutment consists oi? the screw l), screwed through the bottom of the head A, and provided with a lock-nut, I), for keeping it in the desired position.

A U-shaped frame, E, is mounted to slide on the sides of the head A, on which it is guided by pins E, projceting from the sides of the head into longitudinal slots E in the shanks of said sliding frame.

Gage-lugs F, against which the ends oi. the

; teeth can be rested,project laterally from the shanks of said sliding frame E.

A pin, G, projects from the end of the head A, and is surrounded by a tubular screw, H, the thread ol which engages the thread of an aperture in the closed end of the slide E, said screw having a milled or other head for turning it. iv turning, the said screw the slide E is moved lengthwise, and the gagelugs F can be adjusted a greater or less distance from the alnitment, :nrcording to the length of the teeth.

A stop-screw, J, is provided in the handle B, and a spring, K, for pressing the two handles from each other, is provided on the handle A. In ease a fixed abutment is used, as shown in Figs. l and 5, the bottom of the re cess C: is provided with the offset C, Fig. l.

The gage-lugs F are adjusted according to the length of the saw-teeth, the saw-blade M is placed in the recess C, and upon the abutment, the teeth resting against the gage-lugs F, and then the hand-[cs A and I! are pressed toward each other, whereby the teeth are spread or set by the jaw 13'.

llaving thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters latent In a sa\v-set, the combination, with a slotted head and its handle, olT a handle pivoted in l said head and having a diamond-shaped seti ting-jaw, a sliding gage on said head, a pin fixed in the end of the head, a tubular screw our invention We have signed our names in surrounding send pm and screwed through a presence of two subscribing wltnesses.
